The Sugar Labs Project Anatomy
Contributions
Students can be developers (as computer science students) and people persons (as an adult with the assumed social being characteristics), some could be designers or translators as well, depending on their background. All roles need commitment, although the specific tasks are different.
Tracker
There are two types of tickets: defect and enhancement. Each ticket has a number, a title, open time, modification time, owner, description and other miscellaneous items such as severity and milestone etc.
Repository
It's both web-based and local. Source code can be accessed on browsers. If git tools are used, they can be checked out in command line.
Release cycle
Each release cycle has a roadmap, which is updated at the beginning of each release cycle by the release team.
The Sahana Eden Project Anatomy
Contributions
Students can be developers, testers, sys. admin. Some could be documenters, designers or translators as well, depending on their background. The structure seems to be more detailed.
Tracker
Individual tickets are pretty much the same as the Sugar Labs Project, but it has a report system that sort tickets in a different in each report.
Repository
It looks like a local repo, as everything needs to be done in command line.
Release cycle
There is no release cycle, just a roadmap that consists of three milestones. Each milestone seems like a release cycle in the Sugar Labs Project.

Part 1 - Bug Reports
Define what each of the column names below indicate. Include the range of possible values for 2-7 below. Feel free to explore beyond the page to find more information.
ID
A unique number for each bug.

Value range: blocker, critical, major, normal, minor, trivial, enhancement
Pri
The bug assignee uses this field to prioritize his or her bugs. It's a good idea not to change this on other people's bugs. Value range: immediate, urgent, high, normal, low
OS
The operating system the bug was observed on.
Value range: AIX, BSDI, Cygwin, GNU Hurd, HP-UX, IRIX, Linux, FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD, Open Solaris, OSF/1, Solaris, BeOS, Mac OS, Neutrino, OS/2, Windows, OpenVMS, other
